When I was in high school, every girl I was with was completely bald, and it was terrible if they even had just a little bit of hair. Porn also had prominently no pubes actresses.

Maybe it's anecdotal but it seems in the last 5 to 10 years, the trend seems to be a stylized maintained pubic area. My last few girlfriends grew out small bushes and my wife is obsessed with doing different styles with hers. Also it seems that porn stars are starting to keep a bush around.

Is this correct?

mute_nostril_agony 377

Best reason to me for shaved/waxed/hair only above the labia is the benefits for those spending "face time" down there. You can approach the situation from more angles and don't have to worry about keeping the hair out of the way or getting it in your mouth.

WillDonJay 177

Plus, increased sensation! I know tongue action feels better on my balls when I've shaved them. I imagine ladies would get similar results between groomed/ungroomed.

Brooklyn_Bunny 118

Yup, this is probably the biggest reason I remove all my hair down there is because when you’re getting eaten out it feels SO much better vs hair!

Drash1 48

Hair gets in the way for both people. I figure if I want a girl going down on me the last thing she wants is hair in her mouth. And vice versa!! I'm definitely a pro shave person. A little close cropped patch above the party zone is fine though since it doesn't get in the way..

dumbserbwithpigtails 14

Party zone. I love it

gridlock1024 8

Yep! My wife won't even consider spending time in Scrotesville if my hair is more than 1/8 in length. She prefers shaved fully for me and her...I'm indifferent on myself, but much prefer her fully shaved

PureYouth 10

“Scrotesville” made me audibly LOL. Thank youuuu

TheyAreCalling 6

Woah this is really weird that people like this. I hate having my labia licked because it feels like if someone was trying to give my oral sex on my elbow or belly button. Just really wrong.

stickycustard 3

I feel like the whole area is an erogenous zone. I lick and suck my girlfriends inner thigh's almost down to her knees, spend a little extra time in the area where the leg meets the pelvis, and everywhere in-between. You're missing out! To each their own though.

TheyAreCalling 1

I could see how that would cause an intense personal connection and sense of trust but I imagine if someone/something who was not your partner did it to you (including yourself) it wouldn't feel good. Could be wrong. But I personally get that particular sense of connection using hands and eyes only.

alyssinelysium 1

My skin is so sensitivite too and that area is no different. It sucks to admit it but if i don't shave it every couple days and try to grow it out my skin starts getting rash like and its NOT a good look. my boyfriend also really like going down on a girl and prefers it shaved.

he labia is the benefits for those spending "face time" down there. You can approach the situation from more angles and don't have to worry ab

as somebody with a beard, I give 0 fucks about hair around my mouth

BeardsuptheWazoo -3

And crabs are way less prevalent.

Foxreign7 224

Personally I've always loved a "landing strip" or a "top V" or something. My problem with pubic hair is the same anybody would have is when you are performing oral you always get those hairs down your throat.....nothing keeps the mood romantic like pretending to be a cat for a few minutes

A_Hendo 45

Cue Curb Your Enthusiasm music.

Edit: wrong “cue”

alyaaz 34

Tip: if you get a hair in your mouth while going down on someone, lick their inner thigh. It'll get the hair off your tongue without disrupting the flow

Caldwing 12

In my entire life I have never hesitated or had any issue with performing oral sex on a woman with any amount of pubic hair. I feel like a lot of people are really over-sensitive to getting hair in their mouths.

Foxreign7 1

I'm not suggesting it is a constant problem or even a problem people have every single time you go down on someone....but chances are much much higher to have a hair down your throat if your partner has a full bush. If the "action area" is shaved the chances of getting a stray hair is much much less. ..also it just shows they take care of their appearance....it's like haircut or no haircut

As an old lady that has lived through the cycle , I believe pubes are slowly making a comeback. Maybe just little manicured bushes but any progress is welcome.

I’m all for doing what you want but there is too much pressure on young women to be hairless. I’ve met 25 yo women that have never in their life had full pubes. Don’t get me started on armpits and legs ...

sililil 47

I’ve never had full pubes, not since I was about 13 maybe. I absolutely detest having body hair, so I get rid of it. The fact that my boyfriends have liked it is just a bonus.

Grittyclam 164

Yea but my concern is where does a 13 yo learn to detest her body hair? Usually from peers. It goes along with body image issues in general.
*** I’m not saying that is the case with you at all , I don’t know your story. ***

sililil 26

It’s just that I didn’t like the feel of it. I can only offer my own personal experience, but I’m a clean freak and it made me feel unhygienic. I’ve always felt cleaner and sexier shaved.

Grittyclam 94

Just FYI , shaving and waxing actually make it easier to get some STIs.

Y0nderly 33

This needs to be a PSA all on its own.

sililil 18

Tbh I don’t care. I have a long term boyfriend and I wouldn’t give up being hairless for anything. I really hate having body hair.

Grittyclam 9

Do you 😻

sililil -1

What?

Grittyclam 36

You do you , I’m glad you are confident and in a good relationship !

Lysergic_Dreamer -15

Quiet, no one likes a sandy vajay. ;)

KingZarkon 1

Which ones (assuming no open sores in the area)? And on the other side of the coin, it prevents STIs like crabs (not sure it's technically considered an STI).

Grittyclam 10

Absolutely , pubic crabs are going extinct! But shaving and waxing causes skin irritation and leaves tiny open pores. Chlamydia and herpes are often cited.

I feel the same. I get waxed once a month. I dont mind the tiny outgrowth in between. But cleaning blood out of hair vs wiping it off skin the latter is way easier so I am extra appreciative during menstruation.

amalgaman 17

My SO is the same as you. She started shaving herself years before her first sexual activity. She just doesn't like hair on her body.

WitchyWaifuu 0

Same here. I shave just about my entire body. It just feels gross to me. I started doing it as a pre-teen and at 29, I've experimented with growing some back in different places. I always hate it.

limelylemon 5

I only started shaving as a young girl because my high school swimming uniform was a tight one-piece with a narrow front. It was the only way to avoid the embarrassment of having pubes sticking out from under during compulsory PE and swimming carnivals.
I definitely didn't despise my own hair and hated having to shave, but didn't really see another option because of this

buon_natale -8

I never learned to detest my body hair from anyone, I just don’t like the feel or the look. Not everything is influenced by peers.

Grittyclam 53

Somehow magically then women learned to hate body hair all at once and it just happened to coincide with the wide availability of porn.

I don’t think people under 35 understand how rapidly and completely the standard changed. I grew up in the 70s and early 80s. We had razors and waxing. We had more sex than young people do today. Yet somehow almost every woman had pubic hair.

jimmy17 -5

I dunno. Your comment seems very anecdotal. Do you realise that the ancient Egyptians used to remove all their body hair, and that fashions went back and forth for centuries. Here is a good comment in ask history.

So I think your idea that it's an entirely new thing entirely caused by porn and that no one (like the woman you were responding to) could does it for any other reason seems a bit closed minded.

Grittyclam 25

No where in my comment did I say this is the first time In history , quit being a troll. I specifically addressed the last 40 years and the close minded attitude that ONLY hairless is acceptable.

I repeatedly in my posts say do what you like but it is important to stop spreading lies about hygiene and putting pressure on ALL women to remove all their hair.

Hair removal has been a process over the millennia. The number one reason for hair removal was battling sexually transmitted parasites like crabs. Look up the history of merkins if you want a fun read.

Lamenardo 0

Neither /jimmy17 nor /buon_natale said anything about hygiene. Nor did they put any pressure on anyone to remove hair, so you're coming across as unnecessarily hostile.

jimmy17 -1

You're coming across weirdly aggressive about this.

No where in my comment did I say this is the first time In history

I didn't say you did. You did say that "magically then women learned to hate body hair all at once". Which is untrue. It has been a waxing and waning fashion for thousand of years.

I repeatedly in my posts say do what you like but it is important to stop spreading lies about hygiene and putting pressure on ALL women to remove all their hair.

Erm, ok. But this has nothing to do with my comment.

Hair removal has been a process over the millennia. The number one reason for hair removal was battling sexually transmitted parasites like crabs. Look up the history of merkins if you want a fun read.

And for fashion. I recall reading an ancient Greek (I think it was) description of body hair being animal like and primitive and even described it like being a goat.

To be honest you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder about this. If you don't want to shave, fine, but don't attack those who wish to do so.

Grittyclam 1

+10 on the mansplaining , this should go in a pamphlet or something.

jimmy17 2

Wow, so you're not actually going address my points but will instead attack me for my gender? Kind of proving my point about the chip on your shoulder.

Either way, you should stop shaming women from their preferences. It doesn't help what you think your cause is.

ConsortOfARedGoddess 33

Lol you should meet my wife! She is 25 and she loves her bush! She does different styles with it all the time and it turns me on to no end. It helps that she's a redhead too ;)

WitchyWaifuu 18

Dude, I admit pubes aren't my favorite on most people (although I would never police partners bodies), but on redheads? Gorgeous.

Re:armpit hair, I was chilling in my living room a few months ago. My 20-something sister saw my armpit hair and said "Ewwwww, that is disgusting" or something to that effect. Soooooo fucked up. Guess who still has hairy armpits 😂.

It's so messed up that simply having armpit hair makes you like a revolutionary or something or a crazy feminist.

It is disgusting. You are right. It is similar to faeces. Also, my life revolves around men and what they want and like. What will I do if no man wants me? Omg. How will I survive? How will I breatheeeee? :O

Dw, wait a few years and we will talk again ^

vito1221 7

Old man here. My wife shaved once, thought it would be a sexy surprise. Reminded me too much of a little kid and I basically shut down. Then she had to deal with the itch as it grew back.

books_and_shepherds 5

As someone who works with children, I’ve always detested shaved/waxed pubic areas on both men and women as its too prepubescent. That’s why as a woman, I could never do it myself, and why I prefer that my SO doesn’t shave himself either. To each their own, but this will never be my preference. I’m glad to see someone in the same boat as me

vito1221 2

My wife was ok with it, I mean, she knows I would want to get jiggy on my deathbed if I can, but the shaving thing really gave me the creeps. Maybe if I was 20 - 25 today I would feel different.

aoiphes 2

I agree. There are people on here saying "yeah it's fine as long as x, y, z is hairless". Let people do what makes them comfortable with their own body.

CrystalCyan 1

No one is stopping people from doing what makes them comfortable, they are simply choosing to either have less or no oral sex or anything of that nature. A woman shouldnt shave if she doesnt want to, but she does have to accept that just like everything else in life actions have consequences.

PitchBlackGrin -1

To be fair, no man likes a woman with armpit hair

meinjihad -21

Personally, I think hair should always be trimmed on both genders. Especially in the smelly places, like armpits and crotch. That’s just more surface area for oils and secreations to build up on.

I get wanting to be natural. But for hygiene at the very least, trim. I’m a guy and I’ve never had full pubes.

Grittyclam 45

See this is how goes. I’m with you when you say what your preferences are and then comes the language about how you can’t be clean if you have pubic hair.

meinjihad -29

I mean, it’s not language. It’s truth. Hair retains smells, microorganisms, oils. It does. There is no way around this. Maybe you can stomach it. Maybe you can’t. But it’s objectively true and I think it’s better if a culture encourages keep crotch and armpit hair, short.

Even using cleaning products like soap stick to the hair and cause agitation.

AffectionateGiraffe9 22

If this is the case then hair on the head should be trimmed short too, right?

meinjihad -8

the head doesn't secrete the same fluids. The armpits and crotch are regions where the lymph node secret waste through sweat, which is why they smell when not washed. The crotch does build up with fecal matter and urine. Hair just gives more area for that to build up.

It's not a hill i'm trying to die on here. it's just my position that i take with moderate effort. I'm not saying natural people are wrong. I'm just saying, if it's not a big deal either way, trim/shave.

TheyAreCalling 3

Heads do have the same oils and they do stink at the end of the day though. Try it.

FucksGuysWithAccents -10

Thank you. I am sorry lazy smelly bastards are downvoting you.

At least you smell better than them ;-)

Grittyclam 21

Simply incorrect.

Gator5480 18

What is objectively true is that the human body is an amazing machine and that pubic hair exists for a reason, providing a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury. It also provides protection from bacteria and other unwanted pathogens.

My personal preference is to remove body hair but it is just that...a preference. I recognize that there are risks that come along with the practice. To state that it is beneficial for a culture to encourage short pubic and armpit hair is doing nothing more than shaming individuals who chose to keep their body in a more natural state.

meinjihad -7

you are appealing to nature. but we don't live in our natural habitat anymore. We don't live as nomadic clans of a hundred or so individuals that have a birth:death ratio of 1.2:1. Also, people have different levels of body hair quantity, thickness, length, etc. So it couldn't have been that important to our survive since humanity evolved. otherwise, we'd all still have hair. We evolved away from hair, which isn't relevant to why I think hair should be trimmed, but it is relevant to the fact that nature is fickle and can't really legitimize a position.

In our modern environment, hygiene is far more important, and has far greater consequences. I think it should very much be encouraged to trim. not forced, or shamed, or criminalized. But it's clearly a more positive thing for everyone is trimming/shaving was the norm.

but it's your life, live it how you want.

BowlingBong 11

Yeah this is a misconception. For females anyway. It’s actually “cleaner” from a pH stand point to NOT shave. It has its own lil ecosystem down there, it shouldn’t be messed with unless there’s an issue.

I still do, but I can tolerate it. Not everyone can.

meinjihad 1

Hair has no impact on ph

BowlingBong 1

🤷‍♀️ Take it up with my OB

yesmissy 168

Yeah, it's definitely something that seems to be more up to the girl now. However.. and this is just anecdotal, I've still found that most guys still seems to prefer that you at least trim and/or shaves completely.

For myself personally I strongly prefer being shaved. So much so that I went ahead and had laser done and now don't have to shave to stay hairless.

aceinthebutthole 34

Laser is the way! Both me and my GF have had it done. No ingrown hairs, minimal maintenance. Was worth every cent.

knightbaby 12

How painful was it?

aceinthebutthole 14

Less than waxing that’s for sure. A few little zaps. Price wise it was like $130 AUD per session. But there isn’t a lot of competition where I live, I have seen it in major cities in Australia for 1/3 of the price. I needed 3-4 seasons over 6-9 months and the hair barely grows back at all now.

Wanderer-Wonderer 9

What is pricing on laser?

suelinaa 6

You can search Groupon in your area and find some good deals, I did a Brazilian and under arms combo for about $1000

brazzersjanitor 1

Any answers?

aceinthebutthole 3

See above comment

Altostratus 6

Laser didn't work on me :( Such an unfortunate waste of money.

EdibleBromeliad 14

Did you get IPL? So many clinics offer 'laser hair removal' but don't actually have a real laser machine, which is the only thing that properly works.

I had to make phone calls and comb through websites to find clinics in my city that use a real laser. There ended up being about 15 places with real lasers, and a good hundred with IPL.

Trans_Labyrinth 5

IPL isn't as bad as it's made out..with 5 treatments of IPL (less than £100) I've gotten rid of 80-90% of my chest hair. As Altostratus states, it's likely more to do with their hair / skin colour combo

Altostratus 5

Good to know it's been helpful for others! On my underarms, I'd say I saw about a 30% reduction. It was noticeable, and I have to shave less often, but not quite a silver bullet for me.

Trans_Labyrinth 2

How many sessions did you have? I noticed a slight lessening after 2-3, but then a dramatic loss by the end. I'm restarting after a break, but I'm pretty sure that after another couple, I'll have my chest clear enough to be done with a short electrolysis session (to get the stragglers!).

Similarly only had 2 sessions on my legs and I can barely see the difference..probs should take pictures or something before I carry on.

I do have mid-dark body hair on pale-ish skin though, so I'm near a perfect candidate.

Growing / removing hair is such a PITA with its cycles..everything takes an age.

Altostratus 1

I had 6 sessions. At that point, I gave up because it just felt like a drain on my wallet.

Trans_Labyrinth 1

Well that's sucky. I'm going to take pictures of my ridiculously hairy legs to do a before/after before I continue to get them done.

sleepis4theweakkk 3

I’ve had over 12 sessions of IPL on multiple areas, and the hair slightly reduced for maybe a week or two but then it all completely came back. I have very dark hair and very pale skin, and it didn’t work AT ALL for me. Complete waste of money and I even left with some hyper pigmentation because IPL is also less safe than real laser.

Trans_Labyrinth 1

Studies have shown that IPL is only a little less effective than proper laser, but there is a big YMMV on it. Sorry it didn't work for you!

sleepis4theweakkk 1

I know a few other people who have tried it and also got zero results, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it lol

Had a full course of IPL treatments twice on different body parts and everything came back a year later. Not at all the same experience when I switched to laser.

Altostratus 2

It appears that one of the places I went to did use IPL, actually. I went to different places for my underarms and pubic area, though. Both warned me from the start that my light hair/pale skin combo wouldn't be ideal for the treatment.

NotForMyMainAccount 3

What sort of costs and maintenance does it require?

yesmissy 7

Each treatment cost me about 2-3 times the cost of getting waxed in my area so like 200-300 dollars. I can't remember exactly bit it was in that range.

And it took like 5 treatments for it to stick.

I'm going off of vague memory so don't quote me on that. :)

Maintenence wise I've gone back like twice to get areas cleaned up but I've generally been hairless since.

I honestly love it. I feel like it was definitely worth the money and if I counted up what I would have spent on waxing upkeep it's saved me money at this point.

TheConsciousLady 145

Honestly it hurts when I shave. It makes sex painful, feels like sandpaper and lots of splinters.

brigitteundone 43

Same. Gets so freakin painful and itchy if I shave all the way; better for me to trim or just let it grow

aaraabellaa 4

I have the opposite problem. If I let it grow too long it gets itchy and irritating. You would expect the stubble to be irritating, but it honestly only gets bothersome for me when it gets longer.

I occasionally have the same problem when I haven't shaved my legs in a while too, so I wonder if it's a sensitive skin issue.

brigitteundone 6

Bodies are all so different. Anything longer than a few centimeters is my happy place

My legs handle shaving just fine, I prefer having them smooth. I went without shaving them awhile back, the only painful part was when my jeans would pull on my leg hairs 😂

aaraabellaa 1

Oh my god, jeans pulling on your leg hairs is the worst feeling. I used to wear jeans for work every day, and I resented that I had to shave regularly in the winter for that job lol

LochNessaMonster7 1

This happened until I started shaving only with the grain. I'll do it like 1-2x times a week.

mjigs 4

If you want to shave you should do it the day before or two, then apply some irritation pomade, that way when you get to the deed your genitals already healed from the shaving.

changhyun 6

My hair grows back so quickly that if I do it the day before then I'll just have lots of scratchy stubble the next day.

mjigs 0

Then do it 2 days before.

mulatto-latte 81

I have very sensitive skin, so shaving always results in painful ingrown hairs the next day. And waxing terrifies me, so I usually just trim.

Every dude I've been with has told me that they prefer the hair, and love the natural vibe. Common theme is they feel like they're more in tune with me, if that makes sense.

My friends always say they'll never hook up with a dude if they're not shaved, I think it's hella weird. Lots of men love a natural body!

Edit: my friends won't hook up if they themselves aren't shaved, not the dude.

[removed]

Lindseyturtles 24

I prefer guys not to shave just because of how prickly it gets. This weekend a guys balls felt like little cacti in my mouth

mulatto-latte 3

Lmao, the worst. I also love body hair on men.

icameforthefunnies 20

I’m the exact opposite. I couldn’t sleep with a man who made himself fully bald down there. I prefer body hair on my men. And I do a bit of both, natural and fully shaved/trimmed. Whatever I’m in the mood to actually do. Luckily my husband doesn’t mind.

mulatto-latte 4

The opposite of me or my friends? I think we're on the same page lol

Caldwing 1

I am pretty sure she is saying that her friends won't go home with a guy if they (her friends) haven't had a chance to shave, because they feel embarrassed.

mulatto-latte 13

Same. Any time hair gets brought up they usually go "ew, I always shave".
I always stand my ground and say that if the dude doesn't like it he's not obligated to stay for it. I'm human. I mean I shave everywhere else and it's not like I'm unhygienic. But, lots of girls think its weird. Just the porn effect I guess.

boqolnicks 7

My sister is like that. It's sad. There is nothing 'eww' or dirty about hair.

mulatto-latte 5

Yeah, luckily I've only been with men that like it, so it's never been much of an issue.

fancyfreecb 1

I always got an itchy red rash after attempting to shave, which is way worse than hair in my opinion!

paulellertsen -17

Not to be that guy, but «Natural» has nothing to do with it either way.
And when you use it like that, its a very loaded word, as in those that shave are «unnatural»

How’s it loaded? Our bodies aren’t shaved naturally it’s not like unnatural means bad.
Just preference.
So your comment should have begun ‘to be that guy....’

paulellertsen 1

Unnatural implies deviant, corrupted, artificial etc...

So it does imply «bad».

Grooming is a natural thing. A grown man that shaves his face smooth is not «unnatural». The excact same thing applies to the crotch.

Caldwing 1

That is not what unnatural means. Unnatural simply means "does not occur in nature without human intervention." Technically though nothing is unnatural, since humans are themselves part of nature.

paulellertsen 1

Maybe in a science paper.
Are you seriously telling me that the word "unnatural" has no negative connotations??

mulatto-latte

I think you're going off your own definition of unnatural. I never said I was opposed to grooming, I stated that I trim and shave the rest of my body. But being bald down there is definitely unnatural, as is removing any part of what naturally grows on the human body. We are altering the natural body.

Now unnatural does not equal bad, it keeps us hygienic and clean. Some people just prefer to be closer to the "natural" body than others, that's all.

tathree 62

I've tried shaving twice. I'm done with that crap.

i'm 42. I rock a trimmed bush year round. My husband has no issues spending hours buried between my thighs pleasuring me, my clit, my pussy, all of it. Face sitting, over the edge of the bed, or him underneath my skirt.

I get laid by him, I do threesomes, men and women, and foursomes with other married couples. Have never once had an issue with any of them with a neatly trimmed short bush.

Two of the men were quite excited about it.

baaaabaaablacksheep 6

Wow, hours??

tathree 6

I’m almost positive my husband prefers his face between my thighs to fucking me. He enjoys that too. But it’s not an exaggeration. He loves making me cum with his mouth.

We went for a record 8 some months ago.

I adore his mouth.

RandomPlayerJoined 53

I just like a clean labia.

helloiamsilver 86

The problem is that’s the part that is the most difficult/inconvenient/frequently painful part to remove hair from. Shaving the top mound area is easy, getting all the hair gone from all the labia is a nightmare.

turtlesturd 49

It is the complete opposite with me. I can shave my labia using nothing but water with no issues. The mound can be painful, plus it grows in a few different directions.

sangetencre 42

Same.

I can shave my labia no problem.

Shaving the mound? Fuck. That. Shit. That's where the ingrown hairs and the rash and the pain comes in.

MichelleAM99 24

Same. Labia is fine, killer razor burn anywhere else.

Sharlinator 2

As a male, agreed. My pubic mound skin doesn't like to be shaved at all, whereas the scrotum (the direct homologue of the labia) is completely fine (albeit a bit tricky due to the geometry).

thisesmeaningless 11

That's really the only thing that matters to me. A "landing strip" above is totally fine, I just don't like hair in my mouth. If dudes grew hair on their actual dicks I doubt girls would like that either.

PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA 96

I mean you're okay to have your opinion and I'm not calling your opinion wrong at all, but women don't have hair inside their vagina or on their clit, the parts you're supposed to be licking. Balls have hair and so do some shafts, and yes. We do put up with it.

sililil 17

True, but it’s kind of impossible to lick a girl’s clit when she has a full bush and not get hair in your mouth.

PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA 18

It's easy to have one hand move the hair out of the way.

nervuri_de_catifea 6

You do realize oral sex on a woman includes the entire region, right? You don't glue your tongue to the clit and stop when she's done; you tease around, lick the labia, maybe lick the entrance to the vagina, maybe lightly go up just for a change of pace...

Point is, hair that grows past a certain length tends to break off at the worst moments. And it's not only about having to chew (or spit) stray hairs right when she's building up a climax ... extra hair keeps moisture there and may make the local smell extra strong. Some like it, but some don't.

As a particular woman with your own particular preferences, you don't seem to know much about other women's wishes and preferences. So please back down with that aggressive tone, I don't care to know how limited your knowledge is.

PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA -1

Can you just stop? My first comment was replying to an opinion about how shaved but with a landing strip is what they prefer because they don't like licking hair. I was only informing them that hair doesn't grow inside. I never once said that all hair or no hair is better. I never once said no one could have opinions. I've said quite the opposite. You're the one with the aggressive tone asshole. Leave me fucking be.

sililil 6

“You’re the one with the aggressive tone asshole”

Sorry, I laughed too hard at this. Too ironic

nervuri_de_catifea 4

At the point when I chimed in, the discussion had veered to the debate whether "full bush makes oral harder", and you claiming it's perfectly fine.

At which time I pointed out that hey, one can move the hair from the clit, but you're still getting a face-full of hair and you're moving quite a bit during oral. So no, it's quite disingenuous to say a full bush is perfectly fine. It may be for you, but for several other people, it's not.

But hey, you're a woman, I hear you roar. "I know how I like shit" -- good for you.

-Enders -5

You’re getting very triggered for no reason 🤷🏼‍♂️

Rosegin 2

You do if you want her to orgasm. 🤷🏼‍♀️

nervuri_de_catifea -1

Sure I do, but a man can take notes. Really now, I find my girlfriend's bush incredibly sexy, but the stray hairs do get annoying during longer sessions. We noticed even trimming and evening out the hairs helps, and it takes 5 minutes.

-Enders -1

You could be doing so many other things with that hand though. Having to use it to hold hair back sounds boring

PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA 7

And? The point is only that is isn't impossible to lick a clit with a bush. And unless you only have one hand, you can use the other hand to do other things. You can use the hand holding the hair back to massage her pubic bone at the same time. You're trying to say that the hair is unnecessary and a problem when it's people like you that make women feel ashamed for having any when there are still sexy ways to handle the situation. Not everyone that prefers a bald vagina is lazy* or whatever, but the way you've expressed your excuses and opinions make you seem very childish

Edit: a word

-Enders 8

Your whole attitude in this thread makes you look childish lol. I honestly don’t know why you’re getting so bent out of shape about something that is 100% personal preference.

My point is if the hair is so long that you have to hold it back with your hand then you are taking away from the other pleasure that hand can be giving. When I’m going down on a girl I like to use both hands to do different things, and neither of my hands will ever be holding back pubic hair. Ever. If a girl I’m into likes to grow out a bush that long, that’s fine. I’m not going to judge her for it. But I also won’t be going down on her until she trims it down quite a bit. I don’t want to bury my face into a bush so big that I have to hold the hairs back with my hand, that’s not attractive or sexy to me at all.

Drash1 2

Exactly this! I won't ever tell a girl what to do with her body, but that works both ways. Going down on a woman is such a fun thing for me when she's clean shaven, and I can use both hands for other things we will both enjoy. If I had to deal with an unshaven pile I likely wouldn't want to at all. And for that same reciprocal reason I shave my balls and nearby area, and keep the entire area trimmed short. I don't want my girl to have to "put up" with hairs in her mouth.

kasuchans 10

I, at least, have pubes grow on my inner labia and it goes a few millimetres next to my clit. That's part of why I wax, it rubs against my clit and is unpleasant and irritating. Everyone's hair distribution is different.

ithrowthree 3

Hair does get inside. Fact. It doesn’t grow there, but it gets there.

brigitteundone 20

I've had a bush for a long time and have never found a hair inside my vagina 🤷🏼‍♀️

free_and_not_yet 20

This thread is depressing. My wife has always supported sported an untrimmed full bush and I haven’t found any hairs in her either.

And this whole idea that oral is so difficult or you must occupy a hand to move the hair does not hold true for me. Sure, I sometimes use a hand to move hair but that’s only if I have a free hand in the vicinity. Otherwise I have no problems nuzzling through.

Since everyone's been staying stating preferences I’ll just say I prefer hairy but like it all. But really it’s none of my business.

(Looks like only my first paragraph was an actual reply.)

aoiphes 11

It is depressing. As if having a bush is inconsiderate or rude to whoever gets to see it.

RoseOfMay18 3

And of course it’s only women who are rude and inconsiderate for not shaving our pussies...because having to gasp! hold some hair out the way is SO hard and unfair, it’s not like we have to choke on dick or anything. This thread is hugely depressing and it confirms that there are a LOT of teenagers commenting. Or at least I hope they’re teenagers...

aoiphes 2

One of my other comments actually got a reply of "actions have consequences". Like not shaving is an action that warrants consequential measures.

RoseOfMay18 2

Lol “daring to not conform to youth-fetishistic, misogynistic porn standards is a crime against my penis, prepare to face CoSeQuEnCes”

ithrowthree -1

Ok, but your anecdote supports the idea that not all vaginas get hair in them. It does nothing to support the idea that none do.

Rulanik -10

Clit is small, tongue is large. It's impossible to do a good job licking the clit without licking other hairy spots too.

sangetencre 38

If dudes grew hair on their actual dicks I doubt girls would like that either.

They do. Not copious amounts, but as you age, some hairs can crop up there.

Drash1 3

And that's why a high end norelco (or similar) electric shaver is older mans best friend. Taking a razor to my dick and balls scares the hell out of me, but a quality electric does just as good a job with no horror scenario possibility.

KingZarkon 3

I use a trimmer on most of my junk but using it around the scrotum is a quick way to end up with one or more tiny, painful cuts all over it. Much safer with a normal bladed razor. Possible a Norelco-type electric would work well but I'm not buying one just for that.

Drash1 1

Agree with you both.. it's just a razor blade right there thing for me. It's probably more in my head more than anything. I agree not buying one just for shaving. The one I bought came with a trimmer head (with 5 guides/covers), shaver head, nose clipper head and a small trimmer head as well. Rechargeable and waterproof. $65 well spent.

skepticalDragon

It's really not a big deal either way if you do at the end of a shower. The skin is quite tough when it's absorbed all that water. And of course it's clean which helps prevent any itchiness.

subbadubbdubb 9

Some guys do have hair growing on the shaft, FYI.

YRMOAGTIOK 4

Of all the dicks I’ve sucked in my life, most of them had hair on the actual shaft. It’s pretty common.

Rosegin -1

It’s generally a side effect of circumcision.

Leckne 3

It is a normal thing, not bc of circumcision

YRMOAGTIOK 1

Explain how.

Rosegin 1

When infants are circumcised it’s difficult to gauge how much skin to remove, which often results in skin so tight that hairy scrotal skin gets pulled up the shaft during erections. A few stray hairs is normal, a hairy shaft is not.

YRMOAGTIOK 1

I just said they had hair not that they were hairy.

I’ve never seen an erect uncircumcised dick with the scrotal skin pulled up the shaft. Ever.

Rosegin 0

Right, that was my point.

fairydustxx 41

I used to keep shaved down there but recently I’ve been growing some hair out, I personally preferred been shaved round about the labia and underneath but like some hair on the pubis. I also prefer men that’s got pubic hair can’t stand the bald look on guys.

ConsortOfARedGoddess 19

That's what my wife said! I'm her only partner to ever have a bush. She tells me it's great to not feel like she's being fucked by a 13 year old. Lol

fairydustxx 3

Yeh it’s much more manly and bald dicks look weird 😂

mightysparks 38

I’ve always thought pubic hair is much more attractive than shaved. I personally started shaving completely down there 2 years ago; partly because after I lost my virginity to rape I just wanted a different vagina and partly because it just feels nicer. But I still think hairy looks better! And I agree that there is a weird push for girls to be shaved, which is just kind of creepy to me. A lot of the time the excuse is because it’s better for guys when they’re giving oral (fair enough) but no-one’s asking for oral every time, so that’s kind of irrelevant.

birchblonde 41

I’m asking for oral every time. :)

dinosaurs_and_sluts 14

And, I'm offering it every time. It's just plain old fun. Except if she's on her period. I'm down to ride the red train in a pinch, but I have my limits.

KingZarkon 2

I find it feels nicer during sex if we are both smooth down there too.

RottenRedRod 38

I hope so! I'm a guy that prefers it wild and free, everywhere. I'm glad pubes (and other body hair!) are making a comeback because it's more fun for me.

MuchBroccoli 19

Yes! Hair is only natural which makes it sexy!

weaponizedvaginas 24

I highly disagree. But to each their own.

gumbeltogumbel 21

All of this is anecdotal, there is no real way to quantify this. Some people love it, some hate it, just like everything else. Personally I don't particularly care too much about hair above the pussy, but the hair around it and around the asshole is unappealing to me personally.

misscarol1952 15

I heard an older guy say that going down on a woman used to be like kissing a warm furry animal, but now it’s like licking a dolphin’s blowhole.

knowitallz 10

You are just getting older. Seems like the younger ones follow the trend of less hair. The older I got the more hair I saw

Drash1 0

I don't know, I think it's a trend that luckily is reaching all ages. I'm an older guy and the girls I've been dating almost all shave almost everything then trim the top landing strip or V style short.

lost_and_found7 10

I can't imagine not shaving. The feeling of smoothness and gliding of skin-on-skin contact is just amazing.

But to each their own. Own ur body and don't apologize for having preferences:)

Lakersrock111 8

I am enjoying my full bush. It is soft because I condition it.

SonOfTK421 8

I gotta say, as a dude, never really cared if hair was in play or not. It’s all sort of part of the experience to me. The same vagina can be a different sensation (all good, because duh, vagina) depending on the hair.

My wife has occasionally shaved bare for me. Something about that is hot to me, but I think it’s because any time she does it? It’s expressly for me, so there’s a sense of eroticism that she spent so much time intimately preparing herself for me, like a visual, tactile reminder that she’s wanted me all day. And yes, it feels quite good being able to have as much of her bare labia contact my lips and tongue when I’m going down on her.

But otherwise? She keeps herself tastefully groomed for her own comfort and that’s totally fine to me. I tend to shave myself down, and she’s fine with that as well.

MysteriousQuit 8

My past boyfriends all seemed to like strictly shaven hair down there because they were immature and thats what they saw in porn. Now that im a few years older and am with a partner that is more experienced, he loves my hair down there when it grows out because he sees the natural beauty in it and that all girls are not naturally "bald" down there.

certifiedfool 8

(19 F) I’ve been shaving everything pretty much since I hit puberty, and when I was younger and immature I used to think women having pubic hair was disgusting, but it was okay for men.

Last year, I bought a heart stencil online and have been keeping my pubes in that shape ever since. I love it and there are a lot of health reasons for keeping your pubes (still washing yourself of course).

I also think it makes sex more enjoyable, like the friction I would sometimes feel on my pubic bone is gone now. I did feel a little weird when I started having sex again since I am young and surrounded by college boys, and felt like I would have to warn them or something first. Then again, most guys I have slept with don’t shave their pubes off, and I am an adult, so why should I? It’s normal. I wish more guys felt this way about women having pubic hair.

koukla1994 7

I started shaving mine when a boy at camp made a nasty comment about another girls pubic hair. I hadn’t noticed hers and I certainly didn’t notice mine. I was bullied for my leg hair up until I begged my mum to let me shave it and she gave in when I was 12. Years of shaving later and I just can’t be fucked anymore. My current partner doesn’t care either way. I might shave once in a while as a surprise for him or do the bikini line in summer now, but that’s it.

Mz-MM 7

Female body hair has been around ever since the start of homo sapiens. It's this SHAVING shit that's a trend. Female pubic is powerful in a sexual way because it traps pheromones and scents. It's what signals womanliness to me

kasuchans 55

Hair was plucked out by slaves in Romans Baths, scraped off using oil and bronze knives in ancient Greece, depilatory creams were used in Ancient Egypt... Its actually a very long standing thing. Some people like to remove hair.

Mz-MM 12

Well I don't. And I usually see women getting more flack for not shaving than shaving

kasuchans 7

I'm a woman, I just care about history and wanted to chime in with some accuracy because your argument was based on a flawed assumption.

Mz-MM 1

Fault admitted, but it doesn't change the fact that a bush is a completely normal natural thing to have and nothing to hate or dislike

Goobynight 2

We do things to improve on our "natural" state all the time.

Let's not falsely equate "natural" with "better" or even "good".

Mz-MM 0

Well I don't shave any part of my body and it's better because I'm not spending extra money. And when I used to wax and shave in my self hating teen years I used to get horrible folliculitis or just angry unhappy skin in general. Ever since I stopped shaving my skin has been so much better. I also used to do laser for my face and it gave me horrible cystic acne on my face and now when I stopped my skin has improved a lot. So no, it wasn't an 'improvement' for me. Natural all the way. Plus I feel 10x sexier with my body hair

kasuchans 2

Again, sounds like it works for you, but blanket statements about other people aren't the way to go.

Mz-MM 1

Well it works for many others too. Infections and in grown hair are not uncommon complaints from people who remove hair regularly.

kasuchans 1

Yes, but acting as if many people including individual women don't have valid reasons to dislike hair, just from a sensory point of view alone, is frustrating and speaking for people who don't even agree with you. I get maybe one ingrown hair per month, I hate the feeling of hair on my skin (I don't even wear long sleeve shirts because of the feeling of arm hair touching fabric), and I and many others have always preferred to remove hair.

eksyneet 6

that's fine. the point here is that you claimed shaving is a trend, and it's really not.

hoonigan_4wd 9

not to argue for the heck of it but just to show a point, from this guys point of few that comment is really unappealing and gross.

​

we get it monkeys didnt shave, its natural..but as a random guy going down on you..we might not want to smell and taste your hair trapped pheromones and scents...

Mz-MM 13

Well I'm a hairy south Asian lady who likes her body hair and my future partner's gonna have to deal with that.

hoonigan_4wd 1

haha great logic. like I said, its all personal preference.

newyorkrangers17 -14

There may not be a future partner if that's how your attitude. "deal with me or go fuck yourself"

Mz-MM 16

Well I've told several guys I have a hairy snatch and they're completely fine with how my natural body looks, hair and all

gumbeltogumbel 8

There is a lid for every pot. You do you.

unicorns- 2

Most guys aren't going to make pubic hair a total deal breaker if they are otherwise attracted to a woman. Especially if the guy is hairy himself.

Mz-MM 1

For me I would prefer a hairy guy too since I also am hairy.

RedWhacker 7

Bush all the way.

It's nature bottom part of the bikini.

krystiannajt 7

I can't stand hair anywhere but my head and eyebrows.

harbeas 7

From the old school. Always thought pubic hair was sexy.

lowkeydeadinside 6

i think it is starting to come back, but i kind of hope it doesn’t get too big to have a bush. i’m a bi girl and i keep myself clean shaven and i won’t go down on anyone who’s really hairy down there. i just find it gross on anyone, myself included.

randybo_bandy 6

Finally another male admits it. I think it's sexier with hair and obviously that's how it's supposed to be.

actuallytommyapollo 6

Stylized is good in my opinion. Personally been working on maintaining me balls n shaft as well, I think guys and girls both should be doing trim, nobody likes getting a mouthful of loose pubes. Also when a girl has a well kempt bush down there it makes my beard tickle her less, which helps not get my back stomped out :p

Santeego 6

I’m just happy that people feel like it’s their choice, and less of a social expectation.

Just look at this thread, lots of women who prefer the feel of being shaved or trimmed. But if that’s a real personal preference not social engineering then things are right.

RoseOfMay18 3

The problem is that it’s kinda difficult to tell if it’s really a personal preference or if you’ve been socially conditioned to find hair “gross.” I always raise an eyebrow at other women who say that they aren’t following societal trends but that they just somehow intrinsically feel that hair on a pussy or legs is “gross” and “unhygienic.” That has no basis in reality and in fact, hair is actually more hygienic because we’ve evolved to naturally have it. I’m not saying that everyone should be banned from shaving, but I think it’s good to be critical of societal programming and recognize it. If razor ad campaigns/hairless pornstars/female body hair shaming in all forms of media never existed and female body hair was considered just as normal as men’s, do you really think there’d be so many women still shaving and claiming that they feel gross? Why don’t more men shave their legs because it’s “unhygienic?”

Santeego 1

I don’t have the answers you’re looking for, but you’re asking good questions.

All I can tell you is, as a man, I shaved my legs when I swam and keep them trimmed now. I would shave them if it didn’t take so long. And my girlfriend does the same. Same story with pubic hair. Shaved when I swam because hair was highly painful in that suit and now keep it trimmed low because I like how it feels and looks.

But for both of us, we don’t shave or trim because it’s expected, we accept each other hairy or not.

Czekraft 5

Pubic hair is good because when it is stroked it stimulates the blood under the mons and swells the clit

connersnow 5

All I know is that there has been a reported massive decrease in pubic crabs because of people having no hair down there.

mandieyyf 5

I don’t shave down there at all, my husband has no issues with it and when he gives me oral it still feels good. I have had oral from him without hair also and it felt the same. I love him being hairy down there and he doesn’t shave at all either. He does trim sometimes and I hate it, because his hair becomes spiky and hurts me. I like the look of men and women being hairy, but it’s my own personal preference.

SinfullySinless 5

I think it comes more with age. When you’re 16-18 you want to be cool and obsessed about how to get better at sex and be more attractive during sex. Once you hit your mid to late 20’s you get more comfortable with yourself and sex and stop sweating the small details like pubic hair.

Once you’re married and have a consistent long term partner in your 30’s who has seen you at your lowest of lows you’re even less likely to care.

VictoryOverBears 5

I've never had t think about this much. I don't have much body hair to deal with. Plus, my husband gets a kick out of the fact that I have darker hair on my head, but auburn pubic hair, so I just keep it trimmed with enough left for him to see.

12_Volt_Man 5

i love hairy pussies. hate the shaved look. but then, i grew up in the 80s when bush was normal. shaved always looked strange to me as a result i guess.

​

pockled 4

I never shave bare because I'm extremely prone to really bad ingrown hairs and I have hidradenitis suppurativa, I got a Brazilian wax once and yeah it looked great (minus my scars :() but I find that just trimming the hair short with an electric shaver is best. The hair is short enough that it doesn't get in the way, but I'm not bare like a pre-pubescent kid. I've never gotten a complaint I don't think 🤷‍♀️ When it comes to guys, I don't mind hair though if you want your balls sucked I expect them to be shaved

saz0121 4

I wish my fiancé would grow a damn bush

akaChanceCheekz 4

I personally enjoy a lady with a nice bush, it's a turn on!

intellifone 4

I prefer female hair in close proximity to where my tongue is going to be be gone. I’m not trying to floss. Anything above that is fine. Preferably kept a little shorter so it doesn’t tickle my nose too much. But not full Bush.

I keep my gear shaved and trimmer too because I assume she’s not trying to floss either.

It’s an oral preference, not a PIV preference

Pompier57 4

Noticed it too. Seems the "Runway" and "Twix Bar" might be making a comeback.

While I don't like a ton of hair, have a neatly trimmed bush is quite nice!

AllFeelingsRChemical 4

I’m so on board with this! Have been saying it since the bald style came in. Not a fan. Well manicured is amazing.

ZeroStop 3

Oh, man. I'm sorry yall! I didn't mean to stir up shit and have nothing against anyone I may have offended. I was just being facetious and stepped out of line. I am a guy and yes, I also keep shaved and/or trimmed most of the time. I have no problem with any woman who shaves. Didn't realize how much offence I caused.

sangetencre 4

Eh. Someone's always going to be offended.

I just send them to Amanda Palmer's "Map of Tasmania."

ZeroStop 1

Yeah! Love me some Amanda Palmer!

pippilongjohns 3

Life pro tip for women/people who battle with bad razor burn: BEARD TRIMMER. It's a super close cut (similar to 1 or 2 days after shaving) but no ingrown hairs! Just to share something that has been a bit life-changing for me in the pubic-hair-removal department.

Im kind of glad for people dont feel pressure to do it, you should keep your genitals just the way you want and nobody will say "eww hairs" on the deed lets be honest. I do rather have it completely shaved, to me hair gets itchy and it just looks better, but i really dont mind anyone having hair, just trim it and my only reason to that is because hair tends to get inside the mouth when bj and its not that fun pick it up, specially for someone with braces like me, thats the only reason.

SamanthaStranger 2

My husband prefers no hair. He performs amazing oral, so it really is the least I can do.

AdorkableGeekster 2

I had to get rid of my pubic hair permanently and I hated my pubic hair with a passion. If I went without shaving for a couple of weeks or missed a waxing appointment, I had a proper thicket. I'm glad I saved the money to get them permanently off my body and I don't think about it anymore.

I had a lot of pubic hair and it was so thick, wiry, coarse, and long that my pubic region was an ecosystem of its own. Discharge, period blood, mucus, etc. would get matted into the hair around my labia and washing it off was a literal pain.

The first time a guy went down on me (when I was oblivious and rocking the full bush), he actually got his fingers caught in my pubic hair several times and getting the fingers out was painful. The hair there knots easily. If I missed my monthly waxing appointment, my panties would be uncomfortable around the front, my pubic hair would get stuck onto the fabric of my panties, and it would feel swampy by the end of the day.

Sex was also slightly less pleasureable because all the moisture my vagina released got absorbed by the thicket of pubic hair; I'd get dry around the entrance, despite being dripping wet inside and it made the initial penetration extra uncomfortable. When I'm hair free, the moisture goes down to my thighs.

The best maintenance for me, is no maintenance, and the only way I could achieve it was through laser or doing nothing at all. Tried the latter and it didn't work for me. I'm glad I'm alive alongside laser hair removal tech.

emazio 2

I don't find this accurate, in my country shaved is on trend

atomtom65 2

I love pubic hair on a woman, not like a Bush but trimmed. Gimme that landing strip girl ima see how it taste

jackssweetheart 2

I’m all about trimming. Having it bare weirds me out. Why? Pre-pubescent girls have no hair. I mean, at least have a landing strip.

RedundantFlesh 2

Tbh I think porn shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Just like food and Art. They’re all shown in an over exaggerated and extreme way as to only show the BEST of it. “Life” has way more to offer so I don’t think anything should be blocked or Barriered. We should be open to try everything.

ButWhyDudeWhy 2

My (M26) girlfriend (F23) has been the opposite. At the beginning she insisted on pubes because she didn't want to "look like a child". I've been indifferent as long as Ii'm happy so long as I get my happymeal down there ;) To me its more important that it is trimmed, shaved or groomed. Well maintained in general. It's a hygienic thinh. I assume her to expect the same from me. Sometimes I trim, sometimes I shave completely.
Now, all of the sudden she wants to shave too. No idea what made her change her mind, but I'm happy either way! Love to eat out my honey! :)

Cdub7791 2

Ditto. I love it.

hoonigan_4wd 2

all personal preference.

im 28 and a guy and cant stand it. it just really looks unappealing to me. its gross as hair, its almost worst as grown in stubble. I dont have a reason to say this and im not saying it carelessly to be a dick. it just doesn't look good to me.

my gf would be all for laser removal if it was cheaper.

weird how with guys its almost more creepy being 100% shaved, but with female its expected. do females take the risk now to leave some there if they know they are going to be doing random hook ups? or do they still "play it safe" and just go completely shaved.

lo-li-ta 23

i literally only shave it all off when i feel like doing it. i honestly try never to do it just because i worry someone might not like it. if i’m going to sleep with someone and they turn me down in the moment for not being completely bare, then i probably wouldn’t want to sleep with them anyway especially if it’s just a random hook up.

MichelleAM99 23

I don't consider it taking a risk at all... I'm an adult, adults have hair. It shouldn't be seen as risky to leave it as is LOL. I mean I trim and all that business but what the heck. I've never had anyone seem to mind, definitely not turn me down LOL

bowlofcantaloupe 2

I mean, guys are (in general) hairier than women. I've always seen shaving as an accentuation of femininity. Like, sure there are some women with a lot of body hair or facial hair, but it's generally the exception, not the rule. Even women who choose not to shave their legs tend to have less leg hair than guys.

tessie999 9

You're welcome to see it that way, but leg/armpit/pubic hair is an accentuation of sexual maturity in both sexes.

bowlofcantaloupe 0

Of course you're correct. And I don't have strong feelings on how anyone, regardless of gender, grooms their body hair. I'm just throwing out my personal explanation.

Hunnybunny6 2

I prefer guys who shave, so i dont find it creepy. I dont understand why a guy grooming would creepy though. I also just prefer being shave myself, so i shave for myself more than guys anyways. I just don't enjoy body hair.

hoonigan_4wd 1

Do you mean shaved down to nothing? It's nothing personal or anything, I just thought we all agreed our penises looked silly bald once you're an adult.

Funny though how now a days you almost become the odd one out when you dont like body hair.

Hunnybunny6 4

Yeah, i clearly wasnt at that hive meeting.... but by that logic, women should stay hairy also, since that's what happens during puberty for both genders, so all adult should just be hairy cause they're adults. Its a little odd to say hair has anything to do with being an adult though. Like we groom, so you can choose to get rid of hair, doesn't mean you've undone puberty.

Women as a whole, seem to relate manliness to body hair, ive never understood that, so ive always been the odd one out. It's the preferences for female body hair that is changing,not mens.

MrsJRF 2

Used to shave and wax completely. Married and my husband would prefer me hairy as a cave girl, but I trim for my own preference. In the winter I let it go Wild and he loves it.

budpowellfan 2

Fight Big Razor!

donniedenier 2

I’m personally not a fan of pubic hair on women. I like to go down on women a lot and pubic hair gets in the way of that. Plus I just personally find it much more attractive when it’s smooth.

That being said, a well groomed pubic area isn’t bad. If it’s kept short in a landing strip style I don’t mind it.

punkrockbabydoll96 1

Personally I have very thick curly hair. Up top and downstairs. If I let my bush grow out my pubes literally curl into my panties and when I jerk them down while going to the restroom I get an unintentional mini wax, I don’t really have a problem with how leg hair looks but it’s fucking itchy especially girls for some reason. All the sudden nice cuddles in soft sheets feel like you a lying in an open field in itchy grass wearing shorts. I will try to go to bed with I shaved legs and end up giving in at midnight, 2 am to go shave and only then can I finally sleep.

It’s a personal preference for everyone. No one should feel like their hair is gross but if you don’t want it shave or wax or laxer it off.

AlfredJFuzzywinkle 1

The fragrant aroma of a thick Bush is awesome!!!

Don’t you have someone else to harass? Since you obsessed with me why don’t you at least pm me and spare everyone else. Or maybe you write these manifestos for public attention

Trim and call it a day. I've had no complaints. Ladies, if it feels better to wax or shave it all off- hell yeah. If not, grow bush, grow. Me? Trim to soft and reasonable and that's just fine. Most times I just down shave so it looks like the pretty triangle.

Mid 30's guy here. Not a fan of body hair on myself, shaving once a week all over (Chest, arm pits, groin & balls) but don't care what my partner goes with. It's just for me, I always feel so much cleaner and I also find I don't get BO whereas with arm pit hair, I do.

As a teenager and young adult, most girls I was with were shaved but my wife prefers to just trim it and seems to be the norm these days which is fine. To each of their own. The only time it's a problem is when one tries to force their preference on the other.

In high school I used to shave against the grain everywhere, get in every crevice, and usually hurt myself trying to be totally bald. As I've gotten older, I think complete baldness looks too immature. I just keep the upper V less than 1/2 in long ish and very short / bald for the rest. When I'm in a committed relationship I'll let it get longer if my partner isn't bothered by it at all. Occasional landing strip.

I welcome it. I love giving ladies oral but man-like stubbled vulva is not the sexiest thing in the world to kiss and nuzzle. It takes maintenance to keep it ready for prime time - unfortunately some don't keep it up. Neatly trimmed short hair is fine. Fuck the stubble... well actually that ends up happening sooner than it would normally.

I like the natural way. All my partners have had full bush -- the hippie style.

My husband and I don’t do oral so we just keep things down there groomed. He doesn’t like me shaved so I don’t. My friends don’t shave either. Maybe it’s coming back, maybe I just happen to know the people who don’t shave.

I'm not. Not my thing at all.

My wife finally transitioned to clean shaven from a landing strip this past year and I hope she never goes back.

Hair holds smell

For me as long as the lower section is shaved and top maintained I’m happier than a two peckered pup. Ultimately it’s up to he lady or man. As long as you’re happy with your partners upkeep and they are happy with yours.

It's nice that pubic hair is becoming more openly accepted however I feel hair on the labia needs to always be shaved? Idk, just thinking about the comfort of the person performing oral, it seems like it would be preferred...?

My wife asked for laser hair removal for her birthday this year. I am a huge fan of no hair and I dont think Ive ever seen my wife with more than two or three day stubble down there in a very long time. She started doing it long before we met. I gotta say I love it its so smooth and soft, she said she felt like a dolphin. No clue about whats "cool" these days but I'm happy.

Nothing against nature, or shaming whoever's preference, but eating a shaven pussy is just better!

I like keeping it trimmed at a minimum for hygiene. Hair holds bacteria and odours. I like to be clean and fresh!

I couldn't disagree more, but it also depends on your age. Im low 30s, and there was never a time when women my age(early millenials) thought pubic hair was cool. Shaved entirely was always the norm for my generation, there was never a "bushes are in" moment, and i hope it never comes. I can't stand it. Landing strips are fine, but anything else grosses me out. I get it that older folks don't mind it and thats great, but it will always be a deal breaker for me. FYI- i manscape about once a week myself.

I'm being downvoted for having another viewpoint. Classic reddit.

I am definitely not

I paid for my GF to get laser with the stipulation that she leaves a nice bush on the pubic bone....she did the first visit and got the whole thing done. I was not happy. It does grow back, and she is leaving a small patch on the pubic bone, but it is far from a nice forest...more of prairie grass.

But it has worked great. She is not very hairy to begin with, but I think a few more visits and the lips all the back will be gone for good.

People's tastes are like the ass. Divided. I hope bald comes back for full. maybe. MAYBE a small, neat airstrip.

Gotta be honest female pubic hair turns me off

Lockheed_Martini -6

Yeah a little is fine but I'm happy my gf wanted to laser it off.

Eww. No, it's not.

Fastest way to get kicked out of my bed.

God... what in the actual fuck

My sentiments exactly; when encountered.

Personal preference is all that matters in the end.

ourstupidtown 2

If naturally occurring body hair will make you kick a woman you like and want to have sex with out of your bed, you have something more serious going on than personal preference. I can’t even begin to touch how misogynistic that is with a 40 foot pole

Pubic hair is the biggest turn off for me. I have literally refused several times to have sex with women who had hair down there.
Now I'm asking women if they are shaved down there or if they're willing to shave soon after we start chatting and know that there is a chance to get lucky. Not taking risks.

Kittycatkatattack 6

I understand refusing oral but refusing sex?? Wtf

Julian_007 -9

I just don't like seeing hair down there. I find it hard to get or maintain an erection if I'm looking down and it's hairy. It's an instant mood killer for me. I don't know why, I can't explain it.

As for oral, it takes more for me to perform oral than no hair. The vaginal pH plays a massive role in this. A normal vaginal pH level is between 3.8 and 4.5. I have hyperosmia, which means that I can smell and deduct the vaginal pH level whenever I'm near a vagina. I can instantly tell how that vagina is going to taste, and if there is a pH level higher than 4.3...it's not going to happen. A pH higher than 4.3 will be moderately acidic and I don't like the smell or the taste. I do absolutely love any vagina with a pH smaller than 4.3, but it needs to be shaved. I don't care if the woman looks like a 10 and has a nice everything. If she's not shaved I'm not going anywhere near her pants, and if she's shaved but her pH is higher than 4.3, I won't do oral.

I'm weird, I know that already. But worst case scenario, there are other ways to satisfy women (it's called Visa /s).

Kittycatkatattack 1

Well at least you can acknowledge your weirdness. More power to you I guess.

ZeroStop -5

Yes! Me too.
When I get into discussions about it, people are aghast that I don't care if a woman is shaved bald. I don't need to pretend I'm having sex with a 12 year old, thanks.

So are you saying everyone who prefers shaved is a recluse paedophile? Might want to keep your opinions to yourself or articulate them better.

Personally my wife and I both grow above but clear below for easy access and less hair in mouth situations. If you prefer full grown then power to you but don't call others out on their preferences. Especially how you did.

" I don't need to pretend I'm having sex with a 12 year old, thanks. "

​

this is the most cliche answer to blurt out as a female. no guy looks at a vagina that has less hair and thinks "yess shes younger!"

the appeal of being shaved isnt to replicate a young female for us...just sayin..

Dyolf_Knip 8

Sounds like you care a great deal, since you're calling the rest of us pedophiles for preferring little or no pubic hair.

I'm curious, do you say the same about leg and armpit hair?

Gladigan 8

See this is the problem. Why you gotta imply people are pedophiles cause they like shit clean shaved. Asinine. Have your preferences. But you shaming people for shaving is just as bad as shaming someone for not shaving. Everyone has their preferences. No need to be a dick about it.

gossamerthrowaway 5

We don't do body-shaming here or compare their personal grooming habits to pedophilia.

ZeroStop 0

Yeah, I'm sorry. I already posted a public apology to everyone for being dumb and offensive.

mcqueen455 -7

The trend you mention, whether it's accurate or not, is in my opinion the way to go. A well groomed crotch just screams that they want attention down there and is so incredibly hot.

mykelely -12

I personally love a good styelized landing strip. But for thicker women it's all or none of you know what i mean. Either way it will not deter me from any action that needs to be taken lol

UsedandAbused87 -12

I am 31 and I uad never seen pubic hair on a woman until I was 30. I had to turn it down. Pubic hair is one trend I hope never makes it back

Ime, attractive women with an active sex life are pretty much always clean shaven. One girl back in college had a bush and my friends and I that hooked up with her always talked about how we felt like we were on a 70s porn.
